QUESTLAB STUDIOS profile on LinkedIn to follow. 😉 This was the original name, not QuestBlade Studios. 🙄 The direction of the studio is changing in terms of game genre. More casual, more fun, more relaxing, more 2.5D & 2D. This is the studio's philosophy for 2025. Smaller, fun-to-play games can be launched easier and quicker, without compromising quality. 👍 And I am developing a passion for casual games 😻, it's more relaxing and thought-provoking - I used to play only MMORPGs & RPGs. And the name of the studio might finally settle on yet another, final name. 😁
I expect that this is going to see a lot of use in Year of Quantum events next year: A quantum framework tailored to game engines, enabling everyone to explore quantum inspired game mechanics.
We’ve rebuilt our quantum game engine, generalized it, and we’ve been building tooling for Unity to enable game devs to make their own quantum games. We wanted to “take it out on the track”, so we downloaded a Platformer and added some quantum effects in under an hour instead of days. 100 points to your house if you can name the effects we’re using.

GDC talks are up on the vault, which most of y'all know by now. But this week my talk got moved to the FREE part of the vault! 🆓 "Designing for a Dark Night of the Soul" centers on how games of all sizes and genres can start to create spaces and design moments for those rare chances when a game becomes more than a game, and instead becomes a place of healing and personal reflection. Every game has the capacity to really change someone’s life for the better. We’ve all seen or heard of it, and likely we’ve all experienced it ourselves to some degree. Likely, the games that have pulled off this feat in your experience weren’t designed around or narratively focused on improving the player’s life, or helping players through a tough time. The game was just there at the right moment, and it was the right fit. So how can we move forward with this opportunity in mind, and cherish it as developers, without having our entire project focused on a such a rare player experience? 🛣 This talk will provide 3 flexible design strategies, and also a little post-mortem of our 2022 weirdo walking simulator "Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between" which utilized all of these strategies 👾 Oh! And the talk is also set to chill music, so enjoy the vibes! 🎶 https://lnkd.in/g2tmJJpB
